Finding a graphic designer in eLance
I’ve been looking for someone to do some graphic design for me (what with my favorite graphic designer not being available).
I decided to try an on-line site to find it. I chose eLance, and I must say I’m happy with the experience. I had to write a short project description (my project was pretty simple - a graphic design for expresscard-info, just like the oled-info look and feel), and then after a few days I got 12 bids. Choosing the right bid was difficult - but then I got a bid from someone who’s given me a great price and also had the best portfolio of them all. So I chose him, and after one day got my first revision.
It took a few revisions to get it right like I wanted (they give you unlimited revisions in the price, which is another reason that I chose this provider), but after a few days I had my graphic design ready. Paying was a bit of a hassle (I had to wire-transfer the funds to eLance) but it worked.
So now the new look is online. Check it out… and tell me what you think.
All in all? It was a great experience, and a really nice way to do find freelance help. I have more info on the metalgrass blog…
